The five people could not come up with any results after discussing for a while. In desperation, Yun Ming asked everyone to go back to the house and sleep. Stop wasting time and make plans at dawn.
The turn came suddenly. When Yun Ming opened his eyes again, there was no longer a cyan gauze above his head, but a warm and gentle light. His posture also changed from lying in bed to half lying on his back.
"Fuck, are you out?" Yun Ming found himself sleeping on a leather seat. He wanted to jump up, but failed. There was something around his waist that firmly restrained him: "Seat belt?"
The movement on Yun Ming's side attracted the attention of the people in the front row, and a familiar face popped out: "Good evening, Mr. Yun, how are you resting?"
"You're resting well, thank you for your concern. It would be better if you could retract your head and keep it out of my sight, Kim Vallarillo."
"Hey!" Jin smiled with big white teeth: "I admit, I wouldn't want to be shot in the chest, but you also know that at that time, we were each our own masters, but now we are on the same front. We are comrades-in-arms, so remember to be harmonious when getting along."
"I don't remember Gordon Gardner discussing salary issues with me. Besides, I have no intention of being a colleague with you."
Yun Ming originally wanted to take advantage of his native language and prepare to fight Jinzui Pao for 300 rounds, but a strange female voice came from behind him:
"You guys are so noisy. If you disturb my rest again, I will send you both back to ancient times."
The person who spoke was Xiao Qi, the culprit who allowed Yun Ming and others to experience the half-moon tour of the Ming Dynasty. She took off her blindfold, took off her headphones, and put on her glasses on the small table. It was obvious that she was not going to sleep anymore.
"Oh, you are the one who made me go to the Ming Dynasty to be self-reliant." Yun Ming glared (pretend of course): "Do you know how difficult it is to live penniless in a strange place? ?”
"I know, I read the story before waking you up. To be honest, the plot is going so bizarre that even I, the original author, can't accept it."
"Well, you just said wake 'you' up... where are the others?"
"Okay, they're all in the restaurant at the back." Jin pursed his lips towards the back: "Your companion woke up a little earlier than you and went to eat."
"No..." Yun Ming unbuckled his seat belt and stood up, opening the rear cabin door: "We are on a plane now, where is the restaurant?"
Xiao Qi straightened her short hair and left her seat: "I'm going to have a cup of coffee."
The scene behind the door made Yun Ming deeply understand how poverty limits imagination.
Yun Ming had previously judged from his physical sense that he was in a flying plane. This conclusion was correct, but after he opened the door, he realized that it was a luxurious private plane.
The first thing you see is a bar that occupies a large area. There are a variety of drinks. Yun Ming can recognize less than ten brands. The Indian flight attendant dressed as a bartender fills several goblets with champagne and looks towards her with a graceful attitude. Rows of sofas behind the bar.
"Thank you, beautiful lady." The waiter took one of the cups with a smile, and looked up at Yun Ming who opened the door and walked in: "Hey! You're awake. What would you like to drink?"
Xiao Qi took a can of coffee and sat down on the sofa opposite Pu Che Shi: "Your natural tone can easily make people misunderstand that this plane belongs to your family."
"Agreed." Yun Ming snatched the wine glass from the hand of the Pu chariot attendant and drank it all himself: "Where's Brother Zhong?"
"Here." Zhong Yi was sitting not far away, but the wide back of the sofa in the front row blocked his figure.
A bulging backpack was thrown over by Zhong Yi: "Your belongings and the things we left on the fishing boat were all brought up by Gordon."
Yun Ming checked briefly and found nothing wrong: "When did you two wake up? Where are you flying to? By the way... Xu Xi and Jiang Yao are also on the plane?"
Zhong Yi sat over to facilitate the conversation: "It is now 3:10 in the morning on September 3rd. The Puche Waiter and I woke up more than half an hour earlier than you. As for the two Anjun soldiers, we went to the restaurant behind. The four of us They were both awake at the same time. I really don’t know the destination of the flight, but it doesn’t look like they are escorting us back to Long County.”
"So, why am I the only one receiving special care?" Yun Ming yelled in a stern voice, "Are you afraid that I would use my powers to escape immediately after waking up on the ground?"
"You can give me some face." Xiao Qi raised her hand and threw the empty coffee can on Yun Ming's face: "When I released the five of you from the Book of Self-Atonement, you were the only one sleeping. From the virtual You were in a state of sleep during the period when the world entered the real world, so the extra half hour or so was not a coma caused by your soul leaving the body, but you were simply asleep."
"Ha...so that's what it is."
"Yes, after the meeting, I went back home and couldn't sleep, so I wandered around the courtyard." The car attendant took another glass of champagne in his hand: "Suddenly the scene changed and I came back."
Zhong Yi added: "We were already on the plane when we woke up. Since there was nowhere to escape in the air, and Miss Xiao Qi had the ability to instantly incapacitate us, we did not resist."
"But even without these two reasons, judging from the quality and quantity of the enemies present, we have little chance of winning."
"...How many ability users are packed on this plane?" Yun Ming listened to Zhong Yi's words and realized that in addition to Jin and Xiao Qi who he had already seen, there were at least three more high-level ability users in the cabin.
Just at this moment, the door of the compartment opened again, and Jin walked out of the door. He took off the microphone hanging on the cabin wall, cleared his throat, and broadcast the following content in Chinese and English:
"Ladies and gentlemen, the plane is about to arrive in Manila, the destination of this voyage. Please move to the restaurant, where we will hold an action meeting. Thank you for your cooperation."
…………
Yun Ming and others "cooperated" to the restaurant located at the tail of the aircraft. Along the way, they passed the bar, bedroom, cloakroom, study, and private theater. Every room was filled with the smell of degenerate and decayed copper. Although I really want to use a few hundred words to describe the splendor of this aircraft, and at the same time achieve the dual purpose of enriching the details and cramming in the number of words, but... I can't write it, the "X Age" tastes really good Not everyone can write. So, just imagine how deep this plane is.
"The functions are very comprehensive. It is not an exaggeration to say that a complete house has been moved up." Yun Ming clicked his tongue in surprise.
"After all, its predecessor was the presidential plane of a certain country in Southeast Asia before the establishment of the Federation." Facing the people who were like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, Jin was happy to explain: "After the world's national political systems were replaced by the Earth Federation, massive amounts of former national assets It poured into the civilian population and fell into the hands of individuals. Many high-ranking federal officials or wealthy people have enough arsenals to equip an entire infantry division, not to mention a single aircraft."
"So... Gordon Gardner, who owns this head of state car, is a high-ranking member of the Federation?"
King shook his head: "No, Mr. Gardner belongs to the latter. He spent twenty years accumulating astonishing wealth and invested it all in the resistance movement."
"Ninety percent of the mercenaries operating in Southeast Asia belong to him. Those fanatics who do this business are willing to work for Mr. Gardner for a lot of reward money. He also secretly trains the mercenaries, Providing countless high-tech weapons and equipment, including heavy individual mechas and cyborg technology. In short, Gordon Gardner relied on piles of money, excellent planning and outstanding personality charm to make tens of thousands of people He twisted it into a force that cannot be underestimated."
Yun Ming thought thoughtfully: "So that's how it is. How dare he attack the area ruled by Joseph Chapman without the support of military strength? After all, the number of ability users is limited, and it is impossible to perfectly replace China." It turns out that the lower-level officers and soldiers have private soldiers in their own hands."
"In fact, even a considerable part of the federal army, Mr. Gordon also has the power to control." Jin made another shocking revelation: "At the highest level of the federation in Southeast Asia, that is, among Joseph's direct subordinates, there are few His money was confiscated. These people made a huge fortune by betraying Joseph's interests. It's easier to get on board than to get off. I think those guys are still in the Grand Ballroom of the Palme d'Or. Please express your sincerity silently."
"Golden Palm Hotel?" Zhong Yi heard the name familiar: "Is this the place where I met Wade and Maehara Douyang?"
"Well, that's another battlefield. Mr. Gardner's plan has three lines, two weapons and one article. The first line is to gather all the power of the ability users that can be mobilized, kill and seize the fourth son, and control Joseph. Chapman. The second line is to send private troops to seize several major military bases in Baoxiang County, mainly at the junction of Baoxiang County, Long County and Borneo County. In order to prevent the coup, federal cabinet members Tang Wenlong and Ai Bram's possible intervention by force."
"The third line, the Golden Palm Hotel, is also the only civil war. It is under the charge of Governor Palmer of Ten Thousand Islands County. The purpose is to get the top federal officials to accept the fact that Southeast Asia has changed hands and to dissolve the resistance from top to bottom. And carry out the initial distribution of benefits. After feeding them until they are 40% full, these guys will cheer for Mr. Gardner’s rise to power for more dog food.”
"Uh...Jin, let me complain. Your wording just now seems to have scolded yourself."
"Don't get me wrong, money is not the reason for everyone to follow Gordon Gardner. For example, Palmer, as the governor of a county, does not lack money and power, but he is still a staunch supporter of Mr. Gardner." Kington After a moment: "He is for ideals."
"Among those with abilities, Lionel is out for revenge, Maehara Douyang is out for family, and as for me... well, justice..."
Probably because he felt that he was second-rate, at the end of Jin's words, he was obviously less confident than before.
"It sounds like you all have stories to tell." Yun Ming looked at Xiao Qi: "So, why are you..."
Xiao Qi adjusted her glasses: "My sister and I are not subordinates, and we have no obligation to fulfill all Gordon's instructions. We are temporarily taking orders from him just out of interest and because we haven't found a better boss yet."
Pu Che Shi, who is also from the wealthy class, asked a more concerned question: "Jin, what did your boss do to make a fortune? It's hard to imagine that he could develop from poverty to today. The only industry I can think of is pornography, gambling and drugs. and munitions.”
"The financial industry is business." Jin turned around and looked at everyone's expressions: "Don't believe it?"
"Is it relying on "law"?" Yun Ming asked.
"Correct answer. For businessmen, the most important thing is business sense. What affects capital can be policies, technology, or trends. All these require businessmen to rely on their innate ability to perceive. Of course, most people don't have this Those who have special abilities must either fight or gamble, and the power of Law gives the ability users the power to understand the rules and connections, which allows Mr. Gardner to stand on the forefront of finance every time."
Everyone was walking and chatting, and they had arrived at the middle and rear part of the plane. There was a door blocking the front. Judging from the length of the plane and common sense, there was a restaurant behind the door, and the space was not small.
Jin held the handle, leaned over and made an invitation gesture with his other hand: "The three BTS members, Mr. Gardner's most elite subordinates are gathered behind the door, and they are also the combat members of this operation. Wait a minute. You will see the most luxurious rescue team since the end of the Fire War."
